If you have been asked to register on this site by your Local Authority, you need to provide the full information as requested on each form. Failure to do so will lead to a delay in the payment of the grant or no grant being paid at all.
You will need to provide all information requested to enable the Council to pay the grant you are applying for. This information is required to pay the grant (such as your bank details) and to protect against fraud and abuse of public funds as well as to allow the Government to monitor the payments made.
